new car new problem,lol

First off scan it for fault codes 

This is the first step you need to take before spending any money on it.

tried a hand held jobby and it didnt work. il have to find my proper cable and give it a try.

Just a warning, the AGU won't give many codes and definitely won't show the ignition amp as a fault

[houston]

Ignition amp won't bring up a code, but if its an agu then 99.99% that's your problem. Sounds fine on idle but then a few revs and its burbles like an impreza.

Had the same on mine and got a 2nd hand amp for 20 off eBay. Had planned to replace with a new one if it cured the fault but its still going a year later with no trouble

cant see a service helping much its more than likely the ignition amp with the symptoms you have posted an coil packs hardly ever fail on the agu

i know but needed service anyway. garage just called. as people said no faults for coils or ignition amp but it is throwing up a code for the ECU??  would this be because its remaped tho?   told the man ive a ignition amp coming so il try that and if thats not the problem ive to put it back down to them ..  heres hoping its the amp!!

[budgie]
